    You can also set a grayscale printing in  Additional Features on the Quick Setup  tab.
    1.
    Open the printer driver setup window

    When the  Grayscale Printing  check box is checked, the printer driver processes image data as sRGB
    data. In this case, actual colors printed may differ from those in the original image data.
    When using the grayscale printing function to print Adobe RGB data, convert the data to sRGB data
    using an application software.
    Note
    •
    During  Grayscale Printing , inks other than black ink may be used as well.

    							Specifying Color CorrectionYou can specify the color correction method suited to the type of document to be printed.
    Normally, the printer driver adjusts the colors by using Canon Digital Photo Color so that data is printed with
    color tints that most people prefer. This method is suitable for printing sRGB data.
    When you want to print by using the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data effectively, select ICM  (ICC Profile Matching ). When you want to use an application software to specify a printing ICC profile,
    select  None.
    The procedure for specifying color correction is as follows:
    You can also set color correction on the  Quick Setup tab by choosing  Photo Printing under Commonly
    Used Settings , and then choosing  Color/Intensity Manual Adjustment  under Additional Features .1.
    Open the printer driver setup window
    2.
